My first Bluesky paper post! I’m pleased to announce the publication of our single-nucleus atlas of adult neurons from wild-type and long-lived, better performing insulin receptor (daf-2) mutants, by Jon St. Ange and Yifei Weng et al.DOI: 10.1016/j.xgen.2024.100720

Liya visualized two specialist cell types in a larval gut - one in green the other in magenta. I like this image. It's a simple illustration of regional specialization in the gut - once cell type accumulates in the anterior of the intestine, the other in the posterior.

🙋🏽‍♀️ I frequently direct #Drosophila newcomers to this resource and use it myself when planning for community outreach. Will share ideas for updates if I think of anything, but highly doubt that I will…it’s already GREAT!

"Collectively, our findings demonstrate that cortical function and energy usage in female mice are more resilient to food restriction than in males. The neocortex, therefore, contributes to sex-specific, energy-saving adaptations in response to metabolic challenge."

Hi! I’m Amanda Moehring, looking to recruit a PhD student to work on an awesome project on the genetic snd neural basis of female aggression, in Drosophila (flies). (Psst, I’m also in Canada, where we have nationalized healthcare, bodily autonomy for women, and gun control).
